Chapter 21
"Italics"= Radio from another plane or ground.
Matthew shook his head at the Russians stubbornness and aimed for the engines on the left wing. The bullets tore holes into the wing and engine. The propellers started to slow and smoke poured from it. The Canadian moved on to the other engine.
"Mattie, you've got one on your tail!" America said as Canada finished the other engine and the bomber started to slowly fall. Matthew quickly looked around to make sure no one was in the way and rolled to the right and sharply turned, but the Russian kept on his tail. The enemy plane fired hitting Canada in the tail. Matthew gritted his teeth and dipped his wing left and dived down before sharply pulling back up, but the Russian still followed. Canada rolled to the left and slowed his airspeed enough for the Russian fighter to pass him.
The Canadian spotted another Russian jet heading his way to help his comrade who was being tailed by Matthew. Zorro was on the other Russian fighter's tail in an instant, firing at him. Matthew turned his attention back to the enemy in front of him and switched to missiles. He tried to get a lock on the plane ahead of him, but the Russian kept moving out of his targeting sights.
Canada growled and followed the Russian pilots every move while keeping an eye on everything else in the sky. Tiggy was still working on one of the bombers and avoiding shots from a Russian fighter, Zorro was finishing off another. "Alfred, where did the fourth Russian fighter go?" He asked calmly following the Russian in front of him into a loop.
"I'm not sure." America said glancing around as they were upside down. "I don't see it anywhere. Do you think he retreated?"
"I don't know." Canada answered quickly switching back to guns and firing in short bursts. The right engine started to sputter and smoke before going out completely. Matthew hung back and watched as the Russian turned back to his own airspace.
"You're letting him go?" America asked surprised.
"He's retreating. Probably won't make it back to Russia on one engine though." Matthew said bringing the jet back around to where the bombers were. Canada watched as the bomber he and Zorro had shot crashed into the ground. He could tell by the size of the explosion that the bomber had been loaded.
The Canadian lined himself up with the Russian fighter who was firing at Tiggy.
He switched back to missiles and got a lock on the Russian and didn't hesitate to fire. The enemy plane exploded into a ball of fire. Matthew joined Tiggy along at tailing the remaining bomber. Zorro had chased the other fighter off and now only the Russian bomber was left. Zorro flew over and stayed on the opposite side of Matthew than Tiggy was.
"Wait! Don't shoot!" The Russian yelled. "We surrender unconditionally." He said defeatedly.
"Shoot 'em down bro!" America yelled.
"No, Alfred." Canada shook his head. He picked up the radio. "We accept your surrender. You will be escorted to the nearest military base where your plane will be confiscated and you will be under arrest."
"Yes sir." The Russian replied with a sigh. Canada radioed the air boss telling him what had happened and to have armed men surround the bomber when they land.
AN: One or two chapters left. I said that like three chapters ago... Anywho, please remember to vote for either America or Prussia on my fanfic page or in the comments!
